They were all so adamant that it was caused by the video. So they can make minor changes all they want....BUT THEY ADDED STUFF to COVERUP the TRUTH....and stuck with the story until after the election.

Such sloppy work. The totalitarians of the 1930s were much better at disinformation, the Big Lie and inspirational statism. Moderns are just crude and clumsy and ineffectual. I blame drugs and television.

Nothing happens in Barry's WH unless Valerie Jarrett says it's going to happen. Jarrett said to cut the reference to AQ. She then told Clapper that he was going to take the fall for it. VJ never takes the fall for anything.

I don’t get the obsession with Rice. They sent Rice because she was willing to catch the spear, and they knew they could kick up the usual dust of sexism, racism. So when does Clapper resign? As usual, no roads lead to Obama. Isn’t it about time Republicans wrapped this up? They aren’t going to impeach Obama anyway. Maybe it’s worth the exercise to illustrate to the rest of us that still aren’t blind of what we already suspect, Obama is a traitor.

(The object of opening the mind, is as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.)

The amazing thing to me is that the media still considers it a GOOD THING that the White House had no clue what the government was doing.

It’s as if the media has forgotten that the executive branch is run by the White House, and everything that is done by a cabinet department is the responsibility of the White House.

So, if you were going to believe what is clearly lies, you should at least ask how every agency of our government was allowed to run rogue operations without the authority, consent, or knowledge of the President.

Apparently, the media thinks we could get rid of the president altogether, and everything would still work just fine.

I guess this is the end result of using affirmative action to pick our President. There’s somebody doing the real job, and everybody appears to know it, and to expect it.

The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is the United States government official  subject to the authority, direction, and control of the President  required by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 to:

Serve as principal advisor to the President, the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council about intelligence matters related to national security; Serve as head of the sixteen-member Intelligence Community; and Direct and oversee the National Intelligence Program."

So this office is directly under the President and is under the control of the President. So guess where the buck should stop.

That being said, I think that conservatives are being diverted from the real issue: Why was a rescue attempt not made during the course of 7 hours?

This article is an example of "talking points" about "talking points"!! :) You know it's getting deep when they float excuses about excuses.

The article actually says very little.
The most interesting part is at the end,””We want a wiring diagram,” Miller said. “We want an organized picture: ‘It was al Qaeda who ordered it, it was Ansar al Sharia who carried it out, it was this group that assisted. The problem is, the lines have blurred between those groups and their members. Ansar al Sharias are popping up in places like Benghazi, but also in Yemen, also in Tunisia, in all these countries — and they’re not al Qaeda, but they are reading from the al Qaeda narrative and they are being influenced by people who are formerly influential extremists in al Qaeda.”

“The actual truth is, the picture isn’t that clear, but we can piece it together, and that’s not satisfying to people who are used to saying, ‘You can attach this attack to that group,’” said Miller.”
They don’t want to say terrorists did it without specifying their actual affiliation? In other words they’ll bend over backwards to not say terrorists in some generic fashion because people will associate that word with Muslims.Better to specify and essentially carve the terrorist out from the general Muslim population.
